Baghdad-Voices of IraqBaghdad, May1, (VOI)-A car bomb aimed at a U.S. patrol in Baghdad on Thursday killed a US soldier, raising the death toll to (4064) since the start of military operations of Iraq war in March 2003.

“A Multi-National Division – Baghdad soldier was killed in car bomb explosion aimed at US patrol in central Baghdad on Thursday”, The U.S. military said in a statement received by Aswat al-Iraq-Voices of Iraq(VOI).The soldier's killing brings the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq since the beginning of military operations in March 2003 to 4064.

The intense combat between militiamen loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and U.S.-Iraqi troops for more than a month pushed the death toll of US servicemen to soar to 51 in April, making it the deadliest month since September 2007.29 soldiers were killed in February 2008, while 40 were killed in January 2008.December 2007 saw the death of 23, thus becoming the month with the second lowest number of U.S. fatalities after February 2004 during which 20 soldiers were killed.

November 2004, which witnessed fierce battles between U.S. forces and armed groups in Falluja city, Anbar province, remains the month that witnessed the highest U.S. death toll with 137.April 2004 comes second with 135, followed by May 2007 during which 126 U.S. soldiers were killed.AM

US DEATHS CONFIRMED BY THE DOD

Note to President Bush: The "mission has been accomplished" for these brave young Americans.

Almost five years ago, Bush stood on the deck of the carrier Abraham Lincoln, under a banner proudly proclaiming "Mission Accomplished," and boasted about how US forces had won the war in Iraq.

It is now almost FIVE years later and here is a list of brave young Americans KILLED in Bush's stupid war in the past two days---a war that Republican Presidential candidate John McCain says may have to go on for another "100 years." McCain, of course, parses his words by saying if there are no casualties.

What former military person such as McCain who is supposedly in their right mind could ever make a prediction there won't be casualties in a guerrilla war like the one going on in Iraq?

Here is the sad list of KIA from the Iraq war. Can McCain say this won't be happening every single day for the next 100 years?

STILL MORE SIGNS THE 'SURGE' IS A DISASTER: 30 KILLED IN BAGHDAD. ANOTHER GI KILLED

BAGHDAD - Two suicide bombers killed 30 people and wounded 65 others when they detonated explosive vests in a busy market in a town northeast of Baghdad on Thursday, Iraqi police said.
Police said the second bomber struck as crowds rushed to evacuate the wounded from the first attack, a common tactic used by bombers to maximise casualties.

The U.S. military reported early Thursday that a soldier had been killed by an explosion Wednesday near a patrol in Ninevah Province, bringing the monthly count to at least 50 — 27 in Baghdad — in the deadliest month since September when 65 U.S. troops died.

Since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, at least 4,062 U.S. military personnel have died in Iraq, according to an Associated Press count.

Around Iraq, at least 1,080 Iraqi civilians and security forces were killed nationwide this month, or an average of 36 a day, according to an AP tally. That's down from March's total of 1,269, or an average of 41 per day.

Officials reported at least 479 deaths in Sadr City but they could not break down the number of militants, Iraqi Security forces and civilians.

IF THE 'SURGE' IS SUCH A SUCCESS, WHY IS ALL THIS HAPPENING IN IRAQ?

Not a day goes by that either President Bush or someone from the administration or FOX NEWS are not shouting about how well the "surge" is working in Iraq.

There is only one problem with their story.

It is all a pack of LIES.

Here is what happened in Baghdad and other provinces in Iraq on Thursday ALONE:

WEDNESDAY IN IRAQ. 5 US SOLDIERS, 71 IRAQIS KILLED, 155 IRAQIS WOUNDED

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has admitted there is definitely an uptick in the number of US deaths in Iraq. April was one of the bloodiest months in seven months in Iraq with a total of 51 US soldiers and Marines killed in Iraq.

The month ended with a bloodbath in Iraq.

Wednesday: 5 US Soldiers, 71 Iraqis Killed; 155 Iraqis Wounded

Updated at 7:40 p.m. EDT, April 30, 2008
http://antiwar.com/updates/?articleid=12762

Although more bodies are stacking up in the aftermath of his security crackdown, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki continues to threaten the Mahdi army. At least 71 Iraqis were killed and another 155 were wounded in the latest round of violence. Five American soldiers were killed in separate events.
Two U.S. servicemembers were killed when they came across an IED in Baghdad. Also, one American soldier was killed in an IED attack in Baghdad this morning. Also, the DOD reported that one U.S. soldier died of injuries unrelated to combat. An exlosion in Ninewah province left another American soldier dead. April was the deadliest month for U.S. troops since September.

Prime Minister al-Maliki set forth several conditions that the Mahdi army will likely not accept before he is willing to end a failed security crackdown that many believe was designed to sideline Sadrists ahead of elections. The crackdown, which began in Basra in March, triggered a backlash that left hundreds dead and thousands injured, including American soldiers. U.S. authorities report that at least 925 Iraqis were killed aand 2605 were wounded so far. The initial fighting ended in most cities except Sadr City, but the militias remain in control of Basra.


In Sadr City, hospital authorities reported as many as 35 dead and 129 wounded in the last 24 hours.

In Baghdad, four people were found dead. Mortars wounded four people. In Hay al-Amil, mortars injured six people. U.S. forces killed 10 gunmen. Two people were wounded when mortars fell in Bayaa.

In Amil, mortars injured six civilians. U.S. forces killed two people in Abu Dsheer. A roadside bomb in Ur left no casualties. No casualties were reported after mortars fell in the Green Zone. Increase activity by gunmen in Amil and Mashtal forced the closing of schools.
A roadside bomb in Hawija blasted an Awakening Council (Sahwa) patrol, killing two and wounding two others.
Gunmen killed a woman during a home invasion in Kut.

In Mosul, a body was discovered. Two suspects were detained.

The tortured and shot bodies of a man and woman were discovered in Tikrit.

A roadside bomb injured six women in Buhriz.

WHITE HOUSE NOW ADMITS MISSION 'UNACCOMPLISHED' FIVE YEARS LATER IN IRAQ

White House admits Mission Unaccomplished in IraqFive years after Bush’s 'Mission Accomplished' statement, White House 'paid price' for wrong impression.

WASHINGTON - The White House said Wednesday that it had "paid a price" for the "Mission Accomplished" backdrop to US President George W. Bush's May 1, 2003 Iraq speech, saying it left the wrong impression.

http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=25639

"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific, and said, 'Mission Accomplished For These Sailors Who Are On This Ship On Their Mission,'" said spokeswoman Dana Perino.

"We have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year," she said.

The "Mission Accomplished" banner hanging behind Bush on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has become a powerful symbol to his critics of how badly he underestimated the difficulties ahead in Iraq, where more than 4,000 US soldiers have paid the ultimate price.
